Bette’s House:
The next morning Bette was lying on her stomach, when she felt someone creep on her bed. Then that person started jumping on her bed, when Bette turned on to lie on her back she saw Emily jumping on her bed. Bette immediately grabbed Emily throwing her on the bed and started tickling her.

 

Isabel heard from her room, people laughing in Bette’s room. She immediately went to Bette’s room. What she saw warmed her heart. Bette was tickling Emily on the bed; to Isabel it was a beautiful picture. She stood their laughing at her daughters. Bette and Emily heard someone laughing and turned to her bedroom door. Emily immediately yelled for her mother. Soon the three of them were on Bette’s bed tickling Emily and laughing. After the tickle attack, Isabel went to make breakfast for her 2 daughters. Bette and Emily went to get ready for school.

 

Bette came down the stairs and heard her mother talking to someone in the kitchen. When she went in the kitchen, Isabel saw her and told the caller she had to go. “Who was that?” asked Bette. Her mother set a plate of eggs, bacon and sausage in front of Bette. “Your father, he’s not coming back from new York anytime soon. I was telling him that his 3 daughters would like to see him.”
“Well, maybe he’s really busy.”
“Yeah, you know your father.” Bette nodded. But deep inside Bette missed her father, even though Melvin didn’t approve of Bette’s sexuality. One thing Bette didn’t like is that Melvin always left her mother to take care of them. Bette knew that it must be tiring looking after 3 girls. Well two, because Kit moved out a couple of months ago. But still, Bette always found that family came first. Her father always said that he was working because family came first.

 

“Can I have my breakfast please?” asked Emily very politely when Isabel and Bette didn’t notice her. Bette helped her on the chair and Isabel went for her breakfast. All three of them ate in silence.

 

King High:
Alice, Jenny and Tina were the first ones to arrive at school in the gang. Jenny and Tina were obligated; Alice told them the previous day that she wanted their assignments today.Alice gave each member of the newspaper 2 weeks to finish their assignment, their deadline is today. ”Jenny, where’s your assignment?”
“I didn’t finish it,” replied Jenny. Tina looked between Jenny and Alice and sensed a fight.
“What do you mean you didn’t finish it? I told you to have it back ready today.”
“Well, I didn’t finish it.”
“I want the assignment before school ends today.” Alice’s temper was rising fast.
“Look, I can’t hand it in today. Maybe next week.”
“Next week?!” Alice started shouting.
“Yes, I couldn’t get everything together.”
“I gave you 2 weeks,” replied Alice getting frustrated, she expected all the assignments to be finished today. She had no problem with Tina, but Jenny was another story.
